Used for medical claim reporting in all healthcare settings, ICD-10-CM is a standardized classification system of diagnosis codes that represent conditions and diseases, related health problems, abnormal findings, signs and symptoms, injuries, external causes of injuries and diseases, and social circumstances.
1 – Major Depressive Disorder, Recurrent, Moderate. ICD-Code F33.
Code F32. 1 is the diagnosis code used for Major Depressive Disorder, Single Episode, Moderate. It is a mental disorder characterized by a pervasive and persistent low mood that is accompanied by low self-esteem and by a loss of interest or pleasure in normally enjoyable activities.
Code F43. 23 is the diagnosis code used for Adjustment Disorder (AD) with Mixed Anxiety and Depressed Mood. It is sometimes known as situational depression. It occurs when an individual is unable to adjust to or cope with a particular stress or a major life event.
ICD-10 code F32 for Depressive episode is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders .
Code F32. 0 is the diagnosis code used for Major depressive disorder, single episode, mild. This falls under the category of mood [affective] disorders.
1 Recurrent depressive disorder, current episode moderate. A disorder characterized by repeated episodes of depression, the current episode being of moderate severity, as in F32. 1, and without any history of mania.
2 Mixed anxiety and depressive disorder.
F32. Major depressive disorder, single episode At least one symptom is either a depressed mood or loss of interest. The ICD‐10 classification of Mental and Behavioral Disorders developed in part by the American Psychiatric Association classifies depression by code.
2022 ICD-10-CM Codes F33*: Major depressive disorder, recurrent.
Code F32. 9 was reported regardless of whether the provider documented the terms “major” or “single episode” in the diagnostic statement. The diagnosis “depression” may be reported as a principal diagnosis or a secondary diagnosis.
Bipolar disorder is one of the major mental illnesses in which people experience dramatic mood swings, One can go from being highly energetic high and irritable to sad and hopeless in blink of an eye. ICD-10 code F31.1 in this case will be used to specify a bipolar disorder that is mild without any psychotic features.
Bipolar 2 is similar to bipolar 1 characterized with mood swings cycling between high and low over time, the only difference in this case is that the mood swings never reach full on mania. F31.8 ICD-10 code will thus be used to specify the Bipolar II disorder.
Cyclothymia is a term used to specify any type of depression characterized by persistent instability of mood swings accompanied with mild elation. The condition is common in relatives with bipolar parents. Dysthymia on its part is a chronic depression of moods that lasts for years.
The intent of this category, from what I understand, is to include single episodes of major depression. There are several ICD-10 codes that can be used here, depending on severity, the presence of any associated symptoms, and whether the episode of depression is in partial of full remission (note that F32 is NOT a billable code):
Other symptoms of depression include feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness, loss of pleasure in activities, changes in eating or sleeping habits, and thoughts of death or suicide.
recurrent depressive disorder ( F33.-) A disorder characterized by melancholic feelings of grief or unhappiness. A melancholy feeling of sadness and despair. A mental condition marked by ongoing feelings of sadness, despair, loss of energy, and difficulty dealing with normal daily life.
There are a variety of causes, including genetic, environmental, psychological, and biochemical factors. Depression usually starts between the ages of 15 and 30 , and is much more common in women. Women can also get postpartum depression after the birth of a baby.
